4 bedroom detached house

In the sought-after village of Bishopsteignton, this is a rare opportunity to purchase a fabulous detached four-bedroom property in an elevated position with superb estuary views, a double garage, extensive gardens, and woodland.

This wonderful property has been lovingly maintained by the current owners and is beautifully presented, with light and neutral décor throughout, and is heated with warm-air central heating, a wood-burning stove, and double-glazing. It is south-facing and is frequently bathed in sunshine, thanks to its large windows, glazed patio doors and a fabulous sun terrace that takes full advantage of the spectacular view.

The accommodation comprises of, on the ground floor, an entrance hall with a staircase rising to the first floor, a handy store cupboard and further cupboard containing the warm-air heating system providing heating and hot water, along with air circulation during the warmer months, a generously-sized living room, filled with light from dual-aspect windows and wide sliding patio doors from where there are superb views over the front garden, the Teign Estuary and the countryside beyond, with a modern wood-burning stove that makes a wonderful feature and focal point for the room and heating most of the house in the winter months, and a spiral staircase leads down to a light and sunny sitting room, with patio doors to the driveway, and an elegant minster-style fireplace with an electric heater, superb as a snug or office for those working from home. The dining room is open-plan to the living room and has plenty of space for a dining table and seating, perfect for any occasion, beside the modern and spacious kitchen/breakfast room, which has a stunning fitted kitchen offering an abundance of worktop and cupboard space, including a breakfast bar, a range oven, providing excellent cooking facilities with a wide extractor hood above, and integrated appliances include a dishwasher and a freezer, with floor space for an upright fridge/freezer, a utility room with a side door and plumbing beneath the sink for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There are two double bedrooms off the entrance hallway, both with built-in wardrobes, the master with sliding patio doors to the sun terrace and stunning estuary views, and a fantastic bathroom with a bath and separate shower.

Upstairs, there are two more spacious and light double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and wide dormer windows with spectacular views, one of which has access to extensive eaves storage, and these bedrooms are served by a shower room off the landing.

Outside, a wide tarmac driveway provides plenty of parking and leads up to the double garage, which has lights, power, and a remote-controlled up door for convenience, as well as steps to the paved sun terrace and front entrance. To the front, there are three formal lawns flanked by well-stocked beds of plants, shrubs, flowers, and trees, two of which have solid-granite circular beds and an age-worn millstone that serve as interesting features. The superb sun terrace has a glass and stainless-steel balustrade that takes full advantage of the view and is an excellent venue for entertaining, whether it's alfresco dining, a family barbecue or sharing drinks with family and friends. At the rear of the property, there is a hardstanding terrace with a rotary washing line and a row of three brick-built storage sheds. Steps lead up to a level area of lawn with a child's swing and a play fort, ideal for children. The rear garden is large and divided into three tiers; the lower tier is a vegetable plot to the right, ideal for growing fresh produce such as fruit and vegetables. On the left, there is a greenhouse, a metal shed, and a pond with a running water feature. The middle section is an orchard, with raised beds of plants and flowers, and a path leads up to a higher area of woodland with tall trees and a timber shed log store next to a compost heap. This garden is vast, private, and a veritable playground for those with green fingers and an interest in nature and animals.
